Authors

The new curriculum states that “Pupils should be encouraged to read for pleasure. Schools should do everything to promote wider reading. They should provide library facilities and set ambitious expectations for reading at home".

Babcock School Library Service supports and promotes author visits to schools. We can help you by providing an author topic box and talks to students prior to a visit. It is important for everyone to gain knowledge of the author’s books and if possible have read one or two before your guest arrives.

A well-stocked with ‘plenty of choice library’ that raises reading standards should be a ‘must’ in every school. By providing author visits you will not only increase reading in your school community but help to build confidence in children’s writing.
